Bobby Make-Believe

This Sunday strip follows Bobby's imaginative journey as he skates north to the frozen Arctic. The narrative unfolds across twelve panels using sequential art conventions now standard to comics: consistent character design, speech balloons, and a clear panel grid that guides the reader's eye through action and dialogue. Bobby encounters polar bears and ice floes in his fantasy, which collapse when reality intrudes—a common plot device in early newspaper comics. The strip exemplifies how Sunday pages of this era combined visual storytelling with recurring child protagonists, establishing the visual grammar that would define the emerging medium.
